7/10
Technically perfect

This film was incredibly well made. The music was fitting for the subject matter. I didn't feel as if anything was heavy handed. Unlike most films it didn't feel as if the filmmakers took a serious subject too seriously. It felt as if the filmmakers did their research the material felt authentic and unembellished. In many ways it felt as if I was watching a very possible situation. Shot for shot as a whole it is a solid flick. Wit that being said I feel it is fair for my to address that my thoughts on religion are that it is only a way to control a populace any populace. So in particular watching a film where the basis of it is religion wasn't all that entertaining for me. This film had the rare occurrence of being a good movie that due to subject matter I won't see again unless I need a place to look for ideas on mise en scene or framing lighting etc. The film did a great job of representing each group in a honest way. I feel there are no devils or angels in this world, Just people with power making decisions over people that don't have the same destructive technology. This film did a great job of keeping the playing field level. It is well worth a watch and even if religion isn't your thing.
